Many method can be use in Resistance, examples Holtrop method,Fung, Latiharju, Savitsky planing or pre planing, etc.
so, what the method is suitable to speed prediction of HSC...and what's paramater/indication can be use ? |

| I would like to find out if there are any specifications or rules in hovercraft literature (mainly about large hovercrafts, SRN4, LCAC etc.) concerning the landing dock of such a vessel. I know that the advantage of a hovercraft is that it can reach almost every coast as well as land there. However, I question what are the ideal facilities for docking a hovercraft? Other questions I have include: 1) At what slope should the landing platform be inclined? 2) Is there any need for fences around this area, and if so, what height should they reach and what material should they be composed of. 3) Does it necessarily have to be a wide open area? 4) What if the available dock space is limited? 5) In case there are no predetermined rules, what does practice dictate about the construction of such a berth facility? |

The Institution has written to the UK Maritime Coastguard & Safety Agency, strongly supporting the continuation of the HSC Incident Database.
The text of the letter can be seen in the News section of the Technical Forum - High Speed Vessels. |

Members of the IMO Naval Architecture Group have expressed concern over the lack of consistency and completeness when determining the operating limitations for the Permit to Operate under the HSC Code (2000). These concerns were brought to the attention of the DE Sub Committee in two papers, (DE 49/5/3 and DE 49/INF.5), submitted on behalf of the IMO Naval architecture Group by the Royal Institution of Naval Architects, in its capacity as a Non Governmental Organisation. The Sub-Committee agreed that these concerns should be addressed, and proposed to MSC that a new work item for the development of guidelines to assist Administrations should be introduced. Development of these guidelines will commence at DE 50.
Mr Andrew Blyth FRINA, who was instrumental in drafting the papers, gave a lunchtime presentation on the issue at DE 50. The presentation is posted in the news section of the Technical Forum - High Speed Vessels. |

EU Directives 2002/44/EC on vibration and 2003/10/EC on noise may have an impact on the design and operation of high-speed craft, especially the smaller craft.
It has been reported that "a 50 foot deep-vee monohull HSC travelling at 40 knots in a sea state 3 to 4 could exceed the daily Exposure Limit Value within 10 minutes" (source: Dr Trevor Dobbins, Human Sciences and Engineering)
